SCENE & HEARD

Thats great he got released from the hospital. Hope he will be back raceing soon.

It was a hella hit. You can really tell the difference between a solid wall and the Safer barriers. The car just caved in at the impact, small fire started in the right side front of the car. But the whack itself was like it used to be in the old days, and you can see how great the Safers are. Maybe they should think about making some of the inside walls Safer.

HOLY COW! Just saw Jeff Gordon's comments about being caught up in the crash with 3 laps to go. I've known for a while Gordon complains about everybody else, but c'mon, Pepsi is sponsoring the BIGGEST CRYBABY that has sat in a car! Somebody please pass the word along to him that 'Racing is Racing', and anything can happen at 185 mph. GROW UP, JEFF!!!!!!!!!!!

Boy, talk about an impact that was completely avoidable. I can't belive we are still building tracks with access openings from the infield to the track that give opportunity for hits like Fuller endured. There's really no excuse for constructing these necessary openings in such a manner as to allow for such severe impacts. Had the wall that Fuller hit been flat it still would have been an extremely hard hit but he probably would have walked away form it. What's even more amazing is that there are still numerous tracks across the country with blunt openings in the inside and outside walls and plenty of drivers have been severely injured or killed while impacting them. It does not matter if it's your local 3/8 mile track or a 2.5 mile superspeedway--these opening are all over the place. We were lucky Fuller came out as well as he did. Hopefully it won't take a tragedy for track owners and Nascar to raise the standards in this area of track safety.
